Engineering Science

Associate in Science Degree Program

Program DescriptionStudents who complete this program earn an Associate in Science degree. The program
provides basic preparation for students who plan to continue engineering studies at
a four-year college. Applicants should have above-average grades in high school mathematics
and chemistry. High school physics is recommended. Applicants with deficiencies in
science or mathematics may be accepted and given an opportunity to complete appropriate
courses to strengthen their background before acceptance into the program.

Demonstrate the ability to analyze electric circuits in the time-and-phasor-domains
using techniques such as nodal and mesh analysis, Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits,
transient analysis of first-and second-order circuits, and phasor analysis of one-and
three-phase circuits;

Apply chemistry and physics principles to practical analysis of mechanics, materials,
and electronics.

Employment Potential Graduates of the program transferring to four-year institutions to pursue baccalaureate
and higher degrees will easily find employment in the various fields of engineering
represented in this curriculum, including aeronautical, civil, chemical, computer,
electrical, industrial, mechanical, and nuclear.
